Who is this surgery for?
- Diagnostic coronary angiography to evaluate chest pain (angina) or abnormal stress test results.
- Treatment of coronary artery blockages via percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or angioplasty.
- Placement of coronary stents to prop open narrowed or blocked arteries.
- Management of acute coronary syndromes, including heart attacks (STEMI/NSTEMI).
- Patients with obesity or on blood thinners where femoral access carries higher risk.
- Patient preference for a procedure with faster recovery and mobility.
How to prepare
- Complete a thorough medical evaluation, including blood tests and an ECG.
- Discuss all current medications with your cardiologist; you may need to adjust blood thinners.
- Fast for 6-8 hours before the procedure, typically after midnight.
- Inform the doctor of any allergies, especially to iodine contrast or medications.
- A Barbeau test or Allen's test may be performed to ensure adequate blood flow in both wrist arteries.
- Arrange for someone to drive you home after the procedure.
Risks & possible complications
- Radial artery spasm or occlusion, which is usually manageable.
- Minor bleeding, bruising, or a small lump (hematoma) at the wrist site.
- Rare nerve injury or infection at the access site.
- Allergic reaction to contrast dye.
- Standard cardiac catheterization risks: damage to blood vessels, irregular heart rhythms, kidney injury from contrast, stroke, or heart attack (very rare).
Recovery & hospital stay
- A pressure band or wristband is applied to the puncture site for a few hours to prevent bleeding.
- You will be monitored in a recovery area for 4-6 hours; you can eat and drink soon after.
- Keep the wrist straight and avoid heavy lifting or strenuous activity with that hand for 24-48 hours.
- Mild bruising or tenderness at the wrist is normal and should resolve within a week.
- Follow your cardiologist's instructions regarding medication, especially antiplatelets like aspirin or clopidogrel.
- Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments to monitor your heart health and the access site.

I've been seeing Dr. Muzammil for...
I've been seeing Dr. Muzammil for my lymphoma for over three years now. The first thing I noticed was how he never rushed. He’d sit, explain the scans in plain language, and actually remembered what we talked about last time. The hospital’s fancy, sure, but what matters is that I never feel like just another file on his desk. When my blood counts dipped last winter, his team called me before I even saw the report. That kind of consistency is what gets you through this.
